The former University of Miami athletic director's visit just happened to coincide with the hiring of the school's newest AD. Jankovich, the head of UM athletics from 1983-91, is a fan of the hiring announced Friday morning.

"I think he's a fine young man," Jankovich told the Sun Sentinel. "He's been here before and I think he knows when the situation is right. The people in his community who are Hurricane fans, they really respect him and like him. And from what I can gather with people I visited with in the athletic department, they have a great deal of respect for him."

Jankovich said he's met with James on several occasions and hopes to do so again before his trip to Miami ends.

The nearly two-year investigation into UM's compliance practices won't come as any shock to James, whose been on staff since 2010.

"He's not living in a twilight zone," Jankovich said. "He's not walking into anything he thinks is perfect. He knows what the challenges are and I think he can muster up the support to deal with most of them."
